This week, the panel begins by reviewing The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar, Wes Anderson\u2019s faithful adaptation of a 1977 Roald Dahl short story, that doubles as a sumptuous meta-commentary on the director\u2019s exacting approach to his craft. Then, the three discuss The Super Models, Apple TV+\u2019s docu-series that glossily chronicles\xa0the lives and careers of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista, a.k.a. The It Girls of \u201890s fashion. Finally, they puzzle through a controversy sweeping the behavioral science community: What happens when so-called \u201clying experts\u201d falsify their own data? Recent allegations against well-known thought leaders in the field, Francesca Gino and her frequent collaborator, Dan Ariely, have unleashed a host of ethical issues and questions within the academic sphere.\n\nIn the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel honors Spooky Season by sharing their first encounters with terrifying movies.\xa0\n\nEmail us at culturefest@slate.com.\xa0\n\nEndorsements:\n\nDana: Joni Mitchell, the celebrated singer-songwriter, recently released Archives \u2013 Volume 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975), a five-CD box set of archival treasures: never-before-heard demos, unearthed session outtakes, and recordings of live performances. (Also, if you\u2019re not a Mitchell fan, what are you even doing here?)\xa0\n\nJulia: Julia has doubled down and listened raptly to every episode of Strike Force Five, the late-night host podcast from Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver. Apparently, the men eventually found their groove! It\u2019s an unusual product that reveals much about their respective talents.\xa0\n\nStephen: Lydia Loveless, an amazing alt-country songwriter, and her superlatively strong sixth album, Nothing\u2019s Gonna Stand in My Way Again. Stephen endorses Loveless so enthusiastically, he\u2019s even created a playlist of his favorite songs of hers: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3vAPq5ZGCRB3kJLOFzZ4rF?si=4a4d5619bb6e40c0&nd=1\nOutro music: \u201cBreak The Line\u201d by Coma Svensson\n\nPodcast production by Cameron Drews.
